Is Pinot Grigio Gluten Free?
Yes, Pinot Grigio is generally considered gluten-free. As a wine made from grapes, it does not contain gluten ingredients, though those with severe gluten sensitivities may want to check with specific producers about their manufacturing processes to ensure no cross-contamination.
Low in calories: Pinot Grigio is relatively low in calories compared to many other alcoholic beverages.
Antioxidants: Contains antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which may help protect cells from damage.
Heart health: Moderate consumption may contribute to improved heart health by increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Reduced risk of stroke: Some studies suggest moderate wine consumption may lower the risk of ischemic stroke.
Blood sugar regulation: May help regulate blood sugar levels, potentially benefiting those with type 2 diabetes.
Longevity: Moderate wine consumption has been associated with increased longevity in some studies.
Bone density: May contribute to improved bone density, potentially reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Cognitive function: Some research suggests moderate wine consumption might be associated with better cognitive function in older adults.
Stress reduction: Can help reduce stress and promote relaxation when consumed in moderation.
Digestive health: May stimulate the production of gastric juices, potentially aiding digestion.Remember, these benefits are associated with moderate consumption. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to numerous health problems and negate any potential benefits.
Pregnant women: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and other developmental issues.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
